Twenty years ago I first heard about New Zealand and what a special place it is. Well, I just retired and my wife and I decided to find out for ourselves.
New Zealand and its wonderful people surpassed all of our expectations.
The history, culture, and ecology had a profound impact on both of us.
In addition, our two week Kiwi adventure introduced us to ten fellow travelers that became like a small family on our bus named Nancy. Our wonderful and patient guides, Craig and Sarah deserve most of the credit for making this experience, a trip never to be forgotten, thank you!

Our Rimu trip was wonderful from start to finish. Spectacular scenery, great hikes, kayaking, great food, comfortable accommodations, excellent planning and logistics. Our guides, Katie and Celia, were amazing. They were both so personable, knowledgeable, talented and fun! They worked so hard and did everything they could to ensure that each member of our group was comfortable and having a great trip. We enjoyed meeting and spending time with our fellow travelers. Two weeks flew by. We were sad to see our trip come to an end and say goodbye. My husband and I would highly recommend Active Adventures and the Rimu trip.

No shortage of food! Super Pepo with his Super Plan for everyday was a great guide. There wasn't a creature or plant or rock formation he couldn't identify.

The trip was truly an adventure. Loved the landscape, especially the West coastal area. Our Guides (GT & Alex) were great & really know their home land. This trip was a great way to see New Zealand in a short time frame.

We’re active Coloradans who summit high peaks and log lots of miles on the trails in our beautiful state. When we got married last fall, we decided to “go big†for the honeymoon and head to the hiker and adventurer’s place of paradise: New Zealand. Unfortunately, between the wedding date and our trip, I found out that my cancer had returned and I would need to undergo a 3-month cycle of treatment—which overlapped our trip dates. The doctors said I would just have to wait and see how the side effects would impact my travel plans. We of course had trip insurance, but I really didn’t want to use it. Thankfully the treatments were very tolerable and the few side effects would not impact my ability to hike or bike or kayak—we were still able to take our dream vacation! The trip was unbelievably amazing and went above and beyond my expectations. It was so great to let Dan and Sally take care of all the logistics and food (we often spend hours researching trails and routes) and I wanted none of that hassle or responsibility on our honeymoon! Everything was fantastic – from the food to the glorious views. Not only were my husband and I able to enjoy the great outdoors and soak up the adventurous spirit that embodies New Zealand, but it was certainly a great break from our reality back home. And I believe the awesome beauty and power of Mother Nature provided more healing than any treatment could possibly offer. We are so grateful we were able to experience the magnificence of New Zealand and we plan to return soon and often! Thank you for the trip of a lifetime.

This was my first international trip and it was the BEST! From the moment I got off the plane to the day our journey ended, it was flawless...with the exception of one small hiccup. A few days into the trip, I became ill and spent 24 hours in bed. This can be a bit uneasy... getting sick in a foreign country...but, here's the best part. Our guide, Craig, took such good care of me and I honestly feel like I had my own personal angel. On his day off, while the others went and had fun... he stayed with me, making a Dr.'s appt. for me, taking me to the clinic, waiting for me and then making sure I was ok when we returned to our cottage. He went above and beyond and I truly appreciated his care and concern. After that one day, I was well enough to continue and every aspect of the trip was beyond any expectations I could have had. Our group was very special..and I do mean special. I felt like I was on a family vacation! We all got along so well... that doesn't happen very often. The scenery, the food, the new experiences and all the laughter will never be forgotten. Sarah and Craig... words can't describe how incredible these two were. Active NZ is very lucky to have them...and so was I!

WOW! Where to start? The RIMU South Island tour is amazing. From swimming with the seals to Milford Sound, our guides took great care of us. The 2 night backpack to Angelus Hut was difficult but well worth the effort. The views from the Robert Ridge Trail will take your breath away. Do bring a waterproof camera for your kayaking portions and in case of rain. The upper portion of Okarito Lagoon is almost tropical and then, the Heli Glacier trip is incredible. On our day off, we went rafting and the experience was unforgettable. After the Milford Kayak, we stayed at a peaceful little place next to Lake Manapouri. What a great place to wind down prior to heading to Mt. Cook. And the Shearer's Quarters are quite unique. I've never walked out to see sheep wandering around my porch before.

First time to New Zealand. Trip was a lot of fun and the guides were great and made it even more enjoyable. Their ability to change with short notice due to weather, etc. was also helpful and the food was very good as well.

This was definitely a trip of a lifetime - one that was on my bucket list for a while! The tracks that we hiked were all great, from the rainforest to Mt. Cook. Our guides, GT and Alex, were great and worked really hard to ensure that our trip was seamless. If you are looking for a way to experience New Zealand by hiking and sightseeing, this is the way to go - a very professional outfitter that takes care of all the details! It was worth the wait!

The condor trip was wonderful. Patagonia is a beautiful place - full of soaring jagged mountain peaks, breathtaking glaciers, awesome scenery. The Torres del Paine is absolutely stunning. The whole trip was superbly well organised. But the real joy of travelling is the people you meet - our group was great fun, the local guides were knowledgeable and interesting, and it was a great way experience this remote part of the world.

I will remember the W-Trek forever - everything from standing below the "three towers", walking past blocks of glacial ice, and seeing condors circling high above, to picking Calafate berries along the trail and drinking glacial water fresh from the streams!
